DokuWiki is a standards compliant, simple to use Wiki, mainly aimed at creating documentation of any kind. It is targeted at developer teams, workgroups and small companies. It has a simple but powerful syntax which makes sure the datafiles remain readable outside the Wiki and eases the creation of structured texts. All data is stored in plain text files – no database is required.

Best all-around wiki

  by Matt Zukowski

Our organization needed a wiki system for internal I.T. documentation (runbooks, code snippets, etc.) We tried a number of other wiki systems before settling on Dokuwiki -- Confluence, MediaWiki, VQWiki... the list goes on.

Even though I try to avoid PHP apps as much as possible -- as their average quality tends to be questionable -- Dokuwiki turned out to be a perfect fit for us. It has exactly the range of features we needed (LDAP ... [More] authentication, syntax highlighting, etc.), it was super easy to set up, looks good right out of the box, and is just an all-around well engineered system.

I'd highly recommend this, especially when you want a solid all-around wiki solution that fits well in the context of a larger organization's I.T. department. [Less]

Good wiki-engine

    by taffit

DokuWiki is one of the best wiki-engines I've tested (and, in my opinion, the best of wiki-engines running on php without database). It has a very active community, constant developement and a bunch of indispensable features.
The pros in my opinion:
- active developement with quick bug fixing- extensible by many plugins (including authentication by Active Directory or other LDAP-directories)
- helpful community
- no database ... [More] required and really easy to setup and extend.

The cons:
- You cannot modify the layout of the wiki pages easily and to all extend (although there exist some sites running dokuwiki with a beautyful layout)
- The sophisitcated plugin-system is not easily understandable by novices (although quite powerful) [Less]

    Dokuwiki doesn't work with .htaccess

    Hi, I'm a newbie webmaster who recently tried setting up Dokuwiki on a remote FreeBSD webserver.

    See, the installation of Dokuwiki went well. However, according to the Install page, I'd to modify php.ini to include a certain set of codes so ... [More] the wiki could function quite well.

    Well, my webhost doesn't allow access of php.ini, so I resorted to .htaccess. But now, the wiki doesn't work. "An error has occurred while handling your request. This error may be a result of a malfunctioning script or CGI application. Error 500 Internal Server Error (universe/.htaccess: php_flag takes two arguments, PHP Flag Modifier"

    So I've tried commenting out certain lines, 1 at a time, in the .htaccess file like "RewriteEngine on" , "RewriteBase /universe": to see if I could try and figure out the issue. But I'm unable to cos I know very little about PHP and type of commands I can use in .htaccess. And those few lines weren't the cause anyways.

    Anyone can give any tips on what's going wrong?

    Thanks! [Less]

    How is this done? (Thema: How to hide tags and other content?)
